I have a number of questions, but starting with this one will, I hope, help resolve the rest. I received the following error:
XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location:
http://www.wordstar2.com/modules.php?name=Sitemap&op=Google
Line Number 43, Column 107: <loc>www.wordstar2.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&ttitle=DOS2UNIX & UNIX2DOS&lid=51</loc>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wanted to edit the file to fix the error which I'm assuming is the absence of the "http://" (without the quotes) in the LOC tag. There is an ampersand that wasn't changed to & as well.
How can I get to the file so that I can fix this? I don't see a "sitemap.xml" in the root directory of this domain.
That said, a number of things happened that I don't think could be correct.
First of all, although the Sitemap module icon showed up on my Administration panel, and I was able to click on "configure" and remove the Encyclopedia and FAQ modules from being crawled, Sitemap did not show up in my list of modules in the Modules block. I finally added it manually to nuke_modules via mysql so that I could activate it.
The only table created so far has been nuke_seomodules. I'm assuming there should be one other table at least to hold the contents of the sitemap. If you could provide the information about the structure of any other table(s) that need to be present for NukeSEO to work, I can then easily add the table(s) manually.
In any event, the sitemap appears to be somehwere, although I suspect it's sitting in a temp file that will disappear as soon as I log off. When I go to
http://www.wordstar2.com/modules.php?name=Sitemap&op=Google
I see the list of files to be included in the sitemap. They are all correct in terms of being fully formed paths including the URL which has no "http://" in the above error. I saved the page source as an html file in order not to lose that.
Is there some way to disable having NukeSEO send the file to Google? I want NukeSEO to turn it into a proper xml sitemap because that's the part that takes so much time to do, but I need to make changes to it before it actually gets submitted.
For one thing, I want to add the entries from the Journal module. I also have entries from our wiki to add. I will probably make several sitemaps because we have thousands of posts from our mailing lists which have been active since 1996 to include. This means the sitemap submitted to Google needs to be an index pointing to all the sitemaps, and the sitemap produced by NukeSEO will need to be called sitemap1.xml or some such.
I really don't want automatic submission for this web site (I have other web sites, much smaller, where automatic submission won't mess things up). For this site and one other, I really need to be able to manipulate the sitemaps, but I also need the ease of having the xml code generated automatically. So being able to turn those things on and off would be a definite plus for me.
But first things first, how can I fix the xml parsing error?
I'm using PHPNuke 7.8 with the 3.2 patch, MySQL 4.1.19-Standard, and PHP 4.4.2 on a Linux system with a 2.4.21-37.0.1.ELsmp kernel and Apache 1.3.36 (Unix).
Thanks,
